Solar batteries store excess energy generated by your solar panels, allowing you to use it when needed, whether at night, on cloudy days, dull days or during peak energy demand. They are especially beneficial in winter months and for EV owners, enabling greater energy independence.

There are two main types of solar batteries available in the UK: lead-acid and lithium-ion. Lithium-ion batteries are the newer technology, offering higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and better performance.

Battery capacity varies based on how much energy they can store, and prices are continually falling, making them an increasingly affordable and valuable addition to any solar system.
